Oops, I forgot that one. How dare you. No tshirt for you this year. Might have to send a cap as punishment.

Unlucky you.

To appease CMC and Andrew, some pics of trophies and the Z baby. The more I think about it, the more I'm pleased with Best Presented Engine. When you consider a 240z, you can just about have a party in the space around the engine, the 350z, you'd lucky to squeeze your hand down the sides of the engine to detail ( I cheat and use artistic paint brushes, the ones with very long handles). Only a handful of leads etc in the 240z, 350z is spagetti central.

Welcome and post up a picture of your Z.

Welcome. Yes, Zeds are certainly an involving drive, doesn't matter which model.

Welcome to the forum. Any pics of the lovely 370?

Looks good. Are the rims painted? Not normal colour, or just a bit of brake dust?

Hello and welcome. Good luck on your quest.

A lot of us have come from S15's, so we still appreciate them.

We approve. Looks like a lovely Sunset baby.

Nice example.

She'll be stunning once she's all prettied up. At least you'll have brand new panels down one side.

At least you weren't hurt. Fingers crossed all gets sorted soon.

Lol, I know bad ha. Was trying to get a few of the other really pristine ones along for some more competion. Had a few of the other trophies more than once too. Will post pics of trophies tomorrow if I have time. Few of my friends have suggested an extra wing for the house. Almost 7 years, bar a month. Yes, very pleased and very surprised to win best in show. As with Concours judging there is an age penalty. So say a 1972 240z, might make 38 age points, where as I only get 7. And most of the old school Zeds are really stunning. Do you think they'll notice if I modify the paint colour on the trophy from Daytona Blue to Le Mans Sunset. Thank you Ms Vik. CMC will try and get some photos up of the car.

Nice mileage, looks a lovely gingernut.

www.zclub.org.nz. Wonder why that might be.

If you set your heart on a Night Blue you could be waiting a while. As the others have pointed out, they're fairly rare. It's a 2007 only colour.

Knowing how insurance companies will use any excuse to wiggle out of things. I'd challenge that if I were you. Surely a quick phone call to a dealer on your insurance companies part and they can confirm, then the person you dealing with at the insurance company should phone head office and make sure they make the correction in their system surely?!

Haven't had a chance to find that out - its here at the moment - I kid you not - I think I aquaplaned basically the whole 22 miles home last night Just equip some ski's on the Z, quick ride home.

So did you get a little ray of sunshine for your birthday? Happy birthday, belated that is.

A year closer to melting the cake. Happys.

Geepers! Are you sure it's not Queensland you live in. At least all is safe though.

It's been a very busy few weeks here. Show and track season, full on! Next biggg show next weekend, about 600+ cars, about 70-100 mills worth of cars, then Taupo Track Day (lol, yes your navy blue tshirt Mart). So I've been hard out detailing the Bronzed One. Well not quite insanity. Spent 2 hours vacuuming the Z ready for our club Concours on Sunday (even the engine bay!) So much to do. Even though the Z is normally pretty spick and span. Headlights and tailights, etc, etc, out to clean and clean around. Out at the racetrack on Friday, as unsuitable weather for detailing, so was biiiiiiigggg time, nose to the grindstone Saturday to get the car near ready for Sunday. Worked til it was dark last night, 9pm. Even in garage with good lighting, never quite the same as daylight. So the big payoff, the Bronzed One did well. Uum :o 4 trophies, Best Panel & Paint (1st equal with one of the guys), Best Engine Bay, & Best 350 (best 350, was 5th year in a row), Concours d' Elegance trophy (Best in Show). Hardest bit of all has been spending hours detailing in this heat. It's been between 28-34 degrees and about 95-98% humidity, so this means the products cure differently to normal & I was just about melting. Stunning result, go Turbo Wax! Very pleased with all of the trophies. I didn't have time to take many photos, but will upload a few of my friends pics. When I have the chance.

Yay, happy customer.

Nice find with that sort of mileage. Enjoy!
